November Film Preview - Movies/Chicago Bulls - feature

November's films: Big Ben meets the big screen

We're in Heaven with the Chicago Bears. We're in hell (a very cold one) with the temperature taking a dip downward. And yet we don't know what to make of the Chicago Bulls. With the addition of Ben Wallace, P.J. Brown and Tyrus Thomas, are they one of the premier playoff teams? Or are they going to get off to another slow start and continue to be a .500 ball club?
Well, it's time for me to put it all in perspective for you. And luckily it will all make sense once we add in the November films that are coming to a theater near you. It's the monthly movie preview ... with a local twist.

Aaron Karo's ‘Ruminations’ on his success (and getting lucky)

‘Recovering Frat Boy’ tour coming to House of Blues Oct. 27

Without the Internet, Aaron Karo thinks he would be in a ditch somewhere.

Normally that’s not the response you would expect from a frat guy who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and worked on Wall Street. But thanks to an e-mail he sent to 20 friends as a freshman, Karo is getting drunk, hooking up and making a career out of it. The work-hard, play-hard 27-year-old is a voice of his generation, whatever they are calling themselves these days.

Lee Kazimir - feature

Lee Kazimir - feature

Madrid to Kiev. On foot. On film.

Local filmmaker finds more than a means to an end in his 3,100-mile journey

Lee Kazimir walked. One foot in front of the next. From Madrid to Kiev.

There are moments when you take stock of your life and don’t like the direction in which you see yourself heading. That was the dilemma facing Kazimir at age 24. Many would consider graduate school, a career change or moving to a different city. Not Kazimir — he walked — and, hopefully, audiences will want to join him on that walk through his documentary.
